Dedicated to the advancement of cosmetic science, the Society strives to increase and disseminate scientific information through meetings and publications. By promoting research in cosmetic science and industry, and by setting the highest ethical, professional and educational standards, we reach our goal of improving the qualifications of cosmetic scientists. Our mission is to further the interests and recognition of cosmetic scientists while maintaining the confidence of the public in the cosmetic and toiletries industry.

Comprised of over 300 members, the Long Island Chapter of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists was founded in 1987 to promote high standards of practice in the cosmetic sciences. We serve as a focus and provide the proper forums for the exchange of ideas and new developments in cosmetic research and technology.

Since 1987 the LISCC conducts seasonal meetings, educational seminars, suppliers' days and publish seasonal newsletters. Our chapter is run by dedicated volunteers who lend their time and expertise to the smooth and efficient operation.
